Nice. She is actually a medical professional. She does not vaccinate them because the vaccine is always for the previous year's virus and provides only minimal protection. It is only advised for the very young or very old of which her children are neither.
Quote:Influenza is not something to be ignored. I could list several flu pandemics, but part of me thinks you're too deluded to change your stupid beliefs despite the risks you are exposing your children to. Influenza is quite mutable and has similar tendencies to the common cold in hybridizing with other flues.
You just flew off the fucking handle for absolutely no reason. There are flu pandemics. The reason people fucking died of the flu was old age, young age, compromised immune systems or pneumonia, which is now treatable. The very fucking reason she says she does not vaccinate them is because it is so fucking mutable. Durf.

No she isn't. She just explained how vaccines work. She said people do not realize that a lot of vaccines are live viruses and our bodies have to create antibodies to fight it off. She wasn't saying your body does this without vaccines, which it actually can and does in many cases.
